Mexico resort tourist blackouts featured on Today Show with Megyn Kelly

The Today Show with Megyn Kelly on Monday will delve into the issue of tourists being injured or dying at resorts in Mexico.

The show will feature people who blacked out and were seriously injured as well as family members of those affected and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Raquel Rutledge, whose investigation first exposed problems at the resorts.

In July, the Journal Sentinel began investigating the mysterious death of a Wisconsin college student in Mexico, Abbey Conner, and injuries to her brother. Since then, the news organization has uncovered widespread problems with tainted alcohol, derelict law enforcement and price gouging from hospitals in Mexico.

Last week, the investigation revealed that more than a dozen travelers from across the country have said TripAdvisor muzzled their first-hand stories of blackouts, rapes and other ways they were injured while vacationing in Mexico.

The investigation has resulted in a bipartisan demand for federal investigation and action from members of Congress. The Today Show segment is scheduled to air at 10 a.m. central time in the Milwaukee area.
